Mount Rainier Sunrise, Washington, USA
We spent the early morning hours near the Sunrise Rim Trailhead taking pictures of the Milky Way over Mount Rainier (14,409 ft, 4,392 m). As the night turned to morning, the transition from night to day had captured our attention, and we were too enamored to leave. The changing light from shadow to sunshine and […]
Last Light At Fort DeSoto, Florida, USA
I went to Fort DeSoto State Park to try and get some sunset pictures at the bay pier. Instead, I got mauled by sand midges (aka no-see-ums in Florida) because I thought it would make sense to wear flip-flops to the beach lol. Because I wasn’t getting the sunset I was hoping for, and my […]
Sunset Over Lake, Nalsarovar Bird Sanctuary, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India
Another view of the lake at sunset. We were heading back to the shore, leaving the marsh behind. It was truly breathtaking to watch the scene change continuously. The whole experience was an unexpected reward after the birdwatching we had done earlier.
Sedona Fire Sky, Coconino, Arizona, USA
This was more of a “right place at the right time” shot. On my first-ever trip to Sedona, we were heading back to our hotel one night when we noticed that the clouds were forming one of those rippling patterns. We immediately pulled over to the side of the road and waited. Then came the […]
Sunset Star, Coulee Grou Beach, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
I took this photograph on June 28th at 7:55 pm in Montreal at La Coulée Grou Beach. Montreal is a big city. However, I found many places free of visual distractions that were ideal for capturing sunrises and sunsets. From experience, I know that a couple of minutes before sunset or sunrise, the sky can […]
Autumn Sunrise Over Pond, Groton State Forest, Marshfield, Vermont, USA

The area features rolling hills, dense forests, and pristine lakes. For its part, Groton State Forest is home to seven state parks and eight lakes and ponds. Glaciers covered the area 10,000 […]
Pink Purple White Pocket Sunset, Marble Canyon, Arizona, USA
I’d been to White Pocket twice before, but used local guide companies to take me out there due to my lack of experience with off-roading in desert conditions, including deep sandstone sand. I finally decided I was ready to give it a try because I really wanted to experience sunset and sunrise there. I rented […]
Nalsarovar Bird Sanctuary, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India
The lake and the surrounding marshes are situated in the Indian state of Gujarat. Mainly inhabited by migratory birds in winter and spring, they form the largest wetland bird sanctuary in India. We visited the bird sanctuary a couple of years ago. The tour of the sanctuary was on a small motorized boat, which took […]
Magic Sunrise, Plage de l’Est, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
I took this photograph on June 27th, 2026, at 5:28 am in Montreal, at Plage de l’Est. Montreal is a big city. However, I found many places free of visual distractions that were appropriate for capturing sunrises and sunsets. Before leaving home, I checked the Photographer’s Ephemeris app to confirm whether the location was suitable […]
Painted Hills, Bentonite Hills, Hanksville Utah, USA
I’ve wanted to see and photograph the bentonite hills in the Hanksville, UT, area for some time, ever since I first started seeing the many amazing drone shots of this crazy, otherworldly place. I can say it did not disappoint in the least. I was blown away by the ever-changing terrain and geology in such […]
